HUGE New Reward + Stretch Goal
over 1 year ago – Mon, Nov 14, 2022 at 08:35:08 AM

Thank you so much for helping us hit our last stretch goal! The fill-in-the-blank marketing deck for romance authors is now available as an add-on! You can choose the physical card deck or a digital PDF version.

And I have a brand-new stretch goal...

If we get to 1,000 backers, I'm going to offer 1-on-1 personal, private advice for anyone who backs at $145 or more.

Examples of what you can ask are:

- Here are two story ideas. Which one should I write next?

- My marketing doesn't appear to be landing. What am I doing wrong?

- What do you think I need to do to hit the next level?

You'll be given a space to ask your question in a form, along with a way to upload a photo. Your answer will arrive in a voice message. There is no promised minimum or maximum on these voice messages. Skye Warren will answer based on what she'd say over coffee. Generally the more detail provided the more detailed the answer can be, but sometimes she can riff on general questions too. 

This will be a FREE reward add-on to anyone who backed at that level, if we hit the stretch goal. So please share if you want to make this an option!

Stretch Goal REACHED!
over 1 year ago – Mon, Nov 14, 2022 at 08:23:03 AM

Yay! Thank you so much for sharing the news about the stretch goals. Our personal question goal has been met, so everyone who pledged at $145 or above will get a question answered by New York Times bestselling author Skye Warren.

There have been some questions about how to add the previous stretch goal (Marketing Deck), and I had to do some research to figure that out since I'm new to Kickstarter. Below you can find the available add-ons, their cost, and instructions on how to add them.

In case the image doesn't come through, here's the same info in plain text...

Physical Marketing Deck - $20

Digital Marketing Deck - $15

Additional signed paperback of The Bestselling author next door - $25

Additional spiral workbook - $10

Additional audiobook - $15

You should be able to select an add-on by doing the following:

1. Click the “manage your pledge” button on the project’s page.

2. Increase your pledge by the amount needed to claim the add-on(s).

3. Save your pledge. Do not change the tier that you originally pledged at.

(Thank you to Crowd Crux for these instructions.)

The campaign is almost over, so I'm going to share one final stretch goal tomorrow!

Fill in the Blank Marketing Deck for Romance Novels!
over 1 year ago – Sat, Nov 12, 2022 at 10:08:53 AM

Wow - the Kickstarter is doing amazing! Thank you so much for supporting it and sharing. I wanted to offer something that I created, it's kind of a Mad Libs meets Book Marketing, with fill in the blank prompts.

A mockup of the Fill in the Blank Marketing Deck. Not necessarily the final design.

It makes it super easy to write blurbs, Facebook ads, TikTok videos, Instagram captions, and more.

How do you condense a 85,000-word novel into a couple sentences?

This marketing deck has you covered.

This is a stretch goal, so if we can get to 600 backers (as I type this we're at 580) then I'll put this as an Add-on. It will cost $20 and can be added onto any existing physical order without adding shipping. There will also be a digital version. So if you're interested in having a deck like this, please share it with any authors you know.

This is a romance-focused deck. If there's enough interest for a mystery/thriller or PNR/SF/fantasy deck I might be able to do another set, but we'll see.
